Amazing entry! Feels like it was written for me. I love so much here: fitting a hexcrawl and a dungeon in this tight space, using venom as a key, the island sinking once the idol is stolen, clever magic items, weird shrines, sleepers from another age -- you've even got some Kim Holm art! The vocabulary you use is pitch-perfect for this theme: stygian, ebon, jet, ophidian, cyclopean... just an incredible entry here, really, really well done.

I did notice (what appears to me to be) an oddity on Room 5 of the temple, like maybe the green text block is occluding a line or two of the description block below. I don't think it hurts anything really, but it wouldn't be a jam without something to fix for the 1.1, eh?

Anyways, S-tier work! I expect we'll see this in the winner's circle, maybe even walking away with #1 theme.

Frankly blown away by this comment. I think you picked out exactly what attracted me to this jam - getting to pack so many of my favourite things into 4 pages and getting to go buck wild with all my favourite pulpy vocab.

You're right about the text block. I've got a 1.1 version with the fix in place and some other tweaks, courtesy of feedback from WatcherDM. It's going to be a long two months knowing that error is there. Infuriating!

I am sooo happy you rate this piece. Even if it gets pipped at the post in the judging, I'll be very happy that someone out there thinks so highly of it. Thank you!
